Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has put forward a proposal to create an NHS-style social care system for England, arguing that care should be provided free at the point of use in the same way as health services. The idea reignites a long-running debate over how England funds and organises adult social care, an issue that has defied successive governments' reform attempts.

Why now: Social care funding is a persistent political problem in England, and a prominent mayor reviving the NHS-style model draws attention ahead of wider policy debate.
